The SLAM SPRINT

Derrick and Declan from SLAM here.

We're two friends and co-founders who have been starting new projects, hustles, creations, and businesses all our lives.

We built SLAM for people like us– people forging their own path; finding their life's work.

That could mean making music, launching an app, building a robot, or starting a YouTube channel.

Welcome to SPRINT 3.

We've now completed SPRINT 1 & 2, where 25 incredible people came together in our first space in San Francisco.

Some were already full-time, like Bonney, who built a 6-ft tall asparagus coat rack for her popular store of whimsical products. And Meghan, who quit her full-time accounting job to build Mindful Sudoku, a puzzle journal brand.

A few were just starting out, like Jason, who took a leave from college, learned to sew, invented a new type of pants, and sold $2,500 in pre-orders.

Many were somewhere in between. Kat's a software engineer following her dream to become a full-time DJ and producer.

SPRINT 1 & 2 made one thing clear: when you're surrounded by others chasing what they love, it all feels a little less crazy.

You have a crew to share the burden with. To celebrate your wins, to pick you up after your losses.

This isn't a program or an accelerator.
We're not your mentors or bosses.
No one's gonna tell you what to do.

But you'll have a home base with good people, weekly check-ins, and space to show up and grow.

10 weeks, all in. 100% free.
A chance to bet on yourself, alongside others doing the same.

If it works? You just might go full-time and make SLAM your new home base.

If it doesn't? You'll be further than when you started. You'll gain momentum that will last much longer than 10 weeks.

SPRINT 3 will run from February 2nd - March 27th, 2026.

SPRINT 3 applications are now closed.
